In a dynamic industry involving corporate governance, compliance, and director liability, the role of the board secretary is integral to efficient board meetings. The minutes the secretary scribes are a key part of documenting discussions and decisions. Examiners (and potentially legal counsel) will scrutinize recordkeeping, the secretary’s communication with directors/management, and the administration of corporate governance. What are the dos and don’ts of this important role? How can the board secretary be more effective? What constitutes complete recordation? What if corrections are needed for past meetings? This webinar on Thursday, January 11, from 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., will provide the answers to these and other questions, best practices, and sample language.
For those participating in this webinar, you can expect to cover:
- Sample meeting agenda and sample language/format for minutes
- List of annual policies, officer designations, and other items that need to go to the board
- Communication with directors and management before and after the meeting
- Coverage of board and committee meetings – how the secretary’s role changes
- Crafting the minutes and supporting documentation, including corrections
- Record-retention requirements
- Obtaining and maintaining annual documentation requirements (e.g., insider records, board training schedules, etc.)
- E-package delivery – including privacy and IT issues and sample procedures
After participating in this webinar, attendees will receive: An Excel spreadsheet for policies and training that is reported to the board; electronic media board package considerations and sample procedures; employee training log; and a quiz you can administer to measure staff learning and a separate answer key.
